Cdyl - chromodomain Y-like

Predicted to enable several functions, including crotonyl-CoA hydratase activity; identical protein binding activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of peptidyl-lysine crotonylation; random inactivation of X chromosome; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including CDYL (chromodomain Y like).
